I love watching Mantan in even the crummiest low budget movie.. Pretty cool to see him in some serious scenes in this one. He could act and not just do comedy. Talented man. Highly underused.
I enjoyed watching Mantan in the Charlie Chan series and in any other movies he's acted in. He certainly steals the show!
He is a real gem.
Mantan was a wonderful actor and a credit to his profession.💯
Love these old low budget adventure flicks. I reeeally wanted to see more of Mantan Moreland, though, he steals any film he's in.
Agreed. In terms of roles, I think this is the best of his Monogram films.
Mantan was slow in getting g in on this film but he certainly had a prominent supporting role in this adventure film . Apparently he was considered a star even by white producers and prehaps the public as well
love anything with Mantan in it
Once again Mantan Moreland makes the movie!!! What a GREAT role he plays! As much as I like his funny movies 🎥 I think this was a great blend of humor and hero!!!!! I just may have a new favorite MM movie!!! Thanks for posting!
Manthan Moreland greatest role definitely!
enjoy watching moreland great actor
He wound reopened when befored he jumped out of the plane. Poor soul fantastic movie. Mantan is great in this movie. Love his movies keeps you laughing. Wish we had great movies like this now. These actors had pure talent.
To my delite I descovered Mantan Moreland on a O.T.A. channel a few years back and tried to catch a movie of his whenever I could . I am new to streaming movies , now I can watch as many as I want back to back . I love this guy , so much talent . He does it all . 😊😊😊Peace & Prosper😊😊😊
Never saw this one- loved it!
Mr Moreland cracks me up every time.
👍👍👍👍🍷. Good to see Ralph Byrd ( "Dick Tracy" ) in this one as well as Mr.Moreland.
Mantan Moreland was a comic genius.
Everybody loves "Jefferson"!! (Mantan Moreland) He was great in the Zombie Movies, too! His character is what makes these Movies!!
This one made me cry...😢 Manatan was such an all around good actor. Very versatile. Thank you for sharing your talent Manatan! Those Southern Gentleman always bring their A-Game!😉😁
the Sengalese Paratroopers distinguish themselves on the field of battle!
Edward Kay sure comes up with great Musical Scores. I absolutely love the Musical Score that he did for, "King of the Zombies"!!! I love, love, love it, and Edward Kay even got an Academy Award for that score !
It certainly was mood enhancing.
I actually read that he got at least 7 or 9 Academy Award for other Departments of the movie, which were all really great!!!
If you love watching Mantan Moreland and enjoy him, then boy you have got to see him in
"King of the Zombies" you will love it, cuz he's hilarious in that !
My favorite moreland film. A true classic.
LOVE that one! His character winds up being smarter than the alleged "heroes" of the film.
Enjoy Mantan movies
This was extremely enjoyable. Thank you.
51:57 "I don't guess you seen one'a these before, but in Harlem we calls'em a PERSUADER"
Great line.
Also dig the swag of his use of the straight razor.... presentation (item)...cleansing (the ease of his wrist swipe on the 1rst pass against his shoe sole.) and re-iteration ...Mantan has a little Street GRIT behind the illusion of them buggin'-ass eyes of his.
I love these old. movies, too.
@@johnindo6771 Great Piece of cinematic history
An enjoyable romp nice to see Mantan Moreland playing a role that gives him more to do than run around acting scared.Thanks for posting.
Or being a Yes Man or being a chauffeur yes indeed better role
Mantan Moreland was very talented.
Mantan Moreland was hilarious with F. E. Miller in 'Lucky Ghost". Great movie to watch on Halloween!
Great movie.When cruise ships had class .
Good performance 👍
Love Mantan Moreland. On a side note...I have done some skydiving. Today we use the parachute wings. The old round ones used in WW2 could not be guided or at least were hard to guide. The newer ones can be steared.
Salutes to the Senegalese soldiers.
Drums IN the desert!
Mantan Moreland:
Although his “brand “ of comedy is not accepted today, back in the day, this was really the only way to do it. He was EXTREMELY talented.
Not just a comedian, but full Entertainer❗️
I have several of his movies, [ and all of the Charlie Chan movies].
I’ve seen clips from other tv shows, too.
I think his last appearance was on an episode of Adam 12 (?).
I also love watching old “B” [ and “B-“, an some “C” movies, too].
📻🙂
Mantan Moreland playing a non comical role. One that showed his ability to have flexible skills. Thought of The Tuskegee Airmen when I saw this.
The airmen helped us win the war. Unsung heroes.
They use show movies like this before cable on independent stations
Wow!
Love the thumbnail with the Moors in it! We have always been here on this land at America. Much peace to all!
Meatball and Egghead I was dead
Mantan Moreland is my favorite!!!
Lovely Story, well done all players ❤
I love watching Martin movies especially in Charlie Chan movies
The dancing scene is a cut from The Legion of Missing Men.
very nice surprise
a very entertaining movie, made much more entertaining by the great Mantan Moreland. 😄😄👍👍👍
Outstanding
This flick would have been a piss-poor melodrama if not for Mantan Moreland and his fellow paratroopers. It turned out to be a fine Saturday afternoon matinee film.
A thank you
Just how it was then😎😩✌
Say reeblack, being the historian that you are, I know you're familiar with the early black comedy team of Miller and Lyles. They made some films in the late 1920s. Do you have access to any of them?
Never had any training but their going to jump out of a plane.😀
Even in WW2 WITH training the Forces expected 10% loss on each jump wave: injuries and worse.
C-130 rolling down the strip, airborne daddy bout to take a lil trip, stand-up hook-up shuffle to the door, jump right out and count to four, if my main don't open wide, I've gotta reserve by my side, and if my reserve fails me too, airborne daddy gonna lose his cool...
Mantan was better and more funnier than Stepin Fetchit and Rochester.
There was a radio show from about 1950 called " The Adventures of Rochester Van Jones," where he does some excellent comedy sans stereotypes. Its elsewhere on you tube.
The French Steward is playing all the angles.😂 I can't count to 10 , but I doz real good up to 6 😅PRICELESS😅
Maintain (Mantan) doesn't appear till 20 minute mark
Robert Brawley he appears around 10 minutes in
I'm trying to figure out who maintenance is . Shouldnt that be Mantan? So Mantan appears appears about the 10 minute mark
@@robertbrawley5048 9:16 to be exact.
@@petersanz6509 Thankyou Peter
I'm fired
His big bulging eyes look funny!
Moroccans with parachutes .... in 1940 ? DUUUUHHH
Ralph Byrd played DickTracy in the movies when I was a kid..Way back when..Good Old Days..
20;00 Is that Jack Bennys' "Rochester"???
Report to LT? At 30,000ft? good luck with that
What Senegalese accent is this south of Dakar I guess🤣🤣🤣
Mantan was such a unique character 😂 disgusting his name never appeared first at the beginning of movies 👎 cheers Stephen 🤠✌️,🍀
🍿🍿🍿📺👍🏾
I was looking to lose myself in a "regular" black and white and of course, my feed brings up this because I follow you guys. Kudos to Mantan for the times, but this is sickening. Truth is, many old films are hard to watch as an adult..... You realize that "My Girl Friday" is about saving a policeman from shooting a black man, you realize in "Little Princess" you are rooting for a man and his daughter who own diamond holdings in Africa and who is fighting a war that should not have existed in South Africa. ...You ask yourself why is Humphrey Bogart in so many countries, yet you rarely see the natives - at least saying anything. The mere fact that this is your channel makes me have to think about what I am looking at.
please do not impose political correctness in an era when it did not exist. Mantan Moreland was a great actor and did quite well in his profession
What are you talking about .. dumping your opinion on us in such a way is more offensive than the innocence of that time. Kudos to Manton and the others to rising to the challenges of the time with the grace and humour captured.
And everyone should evolve into something better.Mantan is wonderful anyday.
Get a life.
stop over thinking it sit back and enjoy the movies
Thr script was terrible as usual, but worst was the line's they gave the black men they were a insult. Typical ✊☘️
Worse than the the Democrat formed KKK ?
Jeez, racism.
As much as I try to enjoy these old films, the racial discrimination is sickening to the point I'm embarrassed to be associated with the "white" race.
Self-loathing fool. The positives far outweigh the negatives.
Learn from the mistakes of the past and move forward with improvement.
I cannot change the past, but I can create the future.
😂😂😂😂 aaa bless must be a lot of white privilege to pay back for you.
@@mikebayliss8598 Of course.
